About this episode

In the 300th episode of Apocalypse Video, host Dave and guests discuss Zack Snyder's film 300, exploring themes of violence, digital filmmaking, and ancient Sparta.

If I’ve learned one thing doing 300 episodes of this show, it’s that you do NOT want to piss off a demented and super jacked Warlord when they come by requesting a special episode of the podcast. Thankfully, said Warlord’s special request of Zack Snyder’s 300 just so happens to perfectly line up with Apocalypse Video’s 300th episode. I don’t know if that’s divine planning or just super obvious programming on our part, but hey, I’m not going to argue with the Warlord who forced me to record this episode. Anyway, let’s oil up and talk about some good old ancient bloodlust and violence. AROO!! AROO!!! I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare for glory are fellow cinephiles and rejected Spartan warriors Ryan, Kara, and Janna, with special guest and Supreme Warlord of the Wasteland: Fridgius. Topics of discussion in this episode include the messed up childcare system in ancient Sparta; Janna professes her love for “the sexiest sex scene in all of Cinema”; and finally, we talk about the dawn of digital filmmaking, and whether this was the beginning of a bold, new era or the first of many to abandon sets and locations for a lifeless greenscreen alternative. Be sure to rate…
